About:

MONSTER VIOLENCE

Richmond, United States

Monster Violence is an Electronic / Alternative band created by Jason "Doc" Rosa and John "Mega" Anderson from Richmond, VA. MV mixes the attitude and spacious ambiance of 70’s Punk with the relentless thumping Electronic styles (i.e. Drum & Bass). What they created is recognizable yet unaccountable, music that fits with today’s playlists but plays “innovative & original”. MV integrates live instruments with hardware and software to fully encompass the music and listener in free thought.“We are here to say there's more to life than living up to expectation. Not letting those violent monster's we all have near our hearts, strip away our motivation and goodwill. As long as you put your entire being into your passions, it will always be more than enough.” - Doc

SUBPOP

Sub Pop Records, Seattle, United States

As Sub Pop moves into its third decade, Poneman describes the label’s history as “Innocence, innocence lost, innocence regained.” Sure, it’s a joke (how naïve is any label that, at the depths of its financial woes, printed up shirts reading “What part of ‘We don’t have any money’ don’t you understand?”). But there is a grain of truth in there.Sub Pop approaches its goals the same way a pair of enterprising kids would have thought about Soundgarden and Nirvana two decades ago. “We react solely from a place of, ‘This is fucking great,’” Poneman says. “The world may react differently, but we start from the premise of, ‘This rules.’”

“Sub Pop was the grunge label, right?” That’s right—the original home to Nirvana, Soundgarden and Mudhoney, incredible bands all. Bands whose members even, on occasion, wore flannel shirts. And 15 years after the rest of America draped itself in fashionable, grungy flannels (and then promptly took them to the thrift stores where they always belonged), Sub Pop is again one of the top music companies in the land, with artists racking up Saturday Night Live appearances and Grammy nominations.In fact, while much of the music industry has been desperately trying to put the brakes on declining sales, Sup Pop has been giving away music by top-sellers and working with unorthodox business models. Seriously, who’d’ve thought it? Other than the humble founders of Sub Pop, that is?
